Cartier Martin would be fine for a 10 days contract, likely better than Jeffers.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs will sign Aquille Carr to the SF position

[cd021]

Nuggets Nate Robinson out for season. Team still trying to make postseason with all of their injuries (Gallinari, McGee)

Trade idea

Danny Green
Patty Mills

For

Wilson Chandler

Mills is capable of filling a role similar to Robinson off the bench as instant offense. Green is capable of playing both wing spots. Combined they are on cheap deals. Mills deal expires after this season. Green is on the hook for $4 million next season.

Nuggets would save $9.8 million over next two seasons. And get two rotation players to help make a push to the playoffs. If they fall short, they will still save cash.

Chandler is good shooter and can score off the dribble. He isn't quite the defender that Green can be an upgrade. Spurs still would have a 1st rounder and Bonner+ De Colo's expiring deals to get a another deal done.

Also fits the combo forward mold. Can play both spots. At 6'8 & very athletic he'd be a nice fit off the bench as Kawhi's backup or even playing power forward off the bench if Splitter is the 5 off the bench and Diaw starts.

Spurs get an opening to add a player that may come available after a buyout.

If Pop is leaning towards giving Cojo backup PG minutes, he'd be likely to start fazing him in more and more after all star break anyway.

Would rather trade Leonard. Chandler and Green would be elite in both defense and spacing. Leonard and Chandler would still have a weakness against small twos and ones. Obviously, it's not really worth it to lose either player in a straight-up deal for him. Ideally, the Spurs could trade whatever they had to to keep the Core Six and Diaw. Chandler would then either start for Leonard or play big minutes off the bench, taking the playoff times from Mills/Beli and Ayres.

[TheGoldStandard]

Well according to RealGM Chandler for Nando and Bonner works, lol..

If Leonard was on the table who do you think the Spurs could net given his reputation as a rising star amongst GMs?

I think the Nuggets would send Chandler and the Knicks' pick at least. Maybe even add their own. The Cavs would have sent Waiters and Bennett. I think he's worth a top-five pick even in ths draft, because even though he hasn't been as great as people say, he's been better than most top picks.

[cd021]

Don't know if its been mentioned exactly or not...

Paul Milsap
DeMarre Carrol

For

Tiago Splitter
Nando De Colo
1st Round Pick

Atlanta is in a pretty good situation. Good contracts and currently in the playoffs while building toward the future. If the move cost them a playoff trip, they'd be in the lottery which could help them in the long term. Milsaps stock is high as 1st time all star but can he really play alongside Horford long term? Splitter is a very good defensive big man with some offensive skill. Bud knows how well he can play, when properly utilized.

Horford can play his natural position. Whether they make the post season or not, they'd have two 1st rounder in a deep draft, to help add pieces for a future run with only Indiana's future success, seemingly certain.

Spurs lose size and rim protection but it was difficult to use both Duncan and Splitter this season. Splitter was relegated to 20 mpg last post season. Spurs are likely to go rather small, though we would possibly have to acquire another big man via trade or buyout.

Milsap can score in the post, off hustle plays and has stretched his range out 3pt territory (2.6 attempts per game 37% 3pt shooter this season). Has been solid on very good on both ends,despite his team play .500 ball. A 101 D rating and has been a great mid range shooter (45% in the 10-16 feet range)

Carrol provides a big wing player (6'8) he's a good defender and hits 3's at about league average. Can fill in as another option to throw at Durant, Iggy, Lebron etc.

Spurs would save a ton of cash for next season and beyond by dealing Milsap but I would personally wait till the end of the season to make this deal. Too far along now to expect Milsap to come in and contribute in our system and we can see if Pop will actually utilize Splitter at all in the PO even if the matchups aren't favorable. I always thought it was weird how the Spurs react to personnel changes by other teams rather than making other teams react to them.

Again thought

Bonner + De Colo for Chandler.. Make it happen

[Chinook]

Not bad cd021. I think the Spurs and Hawks can do better by bringing in a third team like Toronto or Philly. Atlanta is loaded with assets, and I'm sure they'd be willing to part with most if they could add Splitter while keeping Horford and Millsap.

I like Millsap as a third big. Even as a starter if Splitter stayed. But the defensive loss would be great without another good seven-footer. Carrol would help, but the team would still be one defender short.

[cd021]

Pacers apparently getting serious on signing Bynum.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/10...indiana-pacers

The freakish tall and or long get freakishly taller and longer if it happens...

[cd021]

Heard a few months ago (Zach Lowe mentioned it in one of his articles) about Indiana possibly having to part with Scola to keep Lan Stephenson (who is a RFA) after this season.

Almost, certainly any deal wouldn't happen before the deadline though.

Nah, they'll hold onto him till the off-season. Bynum going to Indy could be good or could end up being a disaster but they want that length in the middle.

Yeah, i'd be hesitant mainly because, if we couldn't aquire another bigman we'd have to roll with Duncan-Milsap-Diaw (probably)-Leonard and Ayers/ Baynes/Bonner for spot minutes. Either way that would be a rather small front line.

I wonder if Okafor could be available for buyout

the article is about a month old, but if he does and is healthy he'd a nice get indeed.

There has to be some far fetch scenario where we could get Millsap and Chandler for all our spare parts.

What about this for extreme shake-up trades?

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lxsa6rg

Hayes adds a post defender while Johnson adds mobility. Essentially replacing Splitter with two players. Add in Noguiera and maybe another asset from the Spurs, and I think both sides go for it.

PS: Don't worry about the failure in the trade machine. That's easy o get around in real life.

[cd021]

Glad to see Indi is an active member in the F#ck Miami Coalition. Getting Bynum could, at the very least, take away the only affordable big man big enough to sit a the same table as Hibbert.

They really hate Miami and who could blame them. They have the recipe for a victory in the East and they could give anyone in the west a run. If Bynum got his together mentally he'd be a solid big off the bench to hammer the 2nd unit.

Hate to lose Marco and Mills to an extent but that SF/PF combo would be nice with the inevitable small ball lineups we will run out there.

Wouldn't that put us dangerously near the tax line? With Hawes, Fields and Johnson all on the books next season for at least $5.7 a piece + Diaw resigning.

I'd be in favor of clearing out the clutter in the big man rotation and your deal does give us some legit depth at SF, PF, and C.
Though, i do like Fields ability to handle ball. He is an on a bad deal that's my only major hangup with the deal.

Then again, I think this team really only need a "Nazi Mohammad" type deal. A low key deal that doesn't grab the headlines but gets the job done.

Would we get Noguiera in the deal BTW?

Agree about the "Nazi Mohammad" type deal. If memory serves me right, was that the last time we actually pulled off a trade that paid immediate dividends in the playoffs? I mean, sure, he didn't last but in the short-term, it was a great move that went under the radar and that's all TD and Manu care about as they near retirement.

The Spurs would be eating a ton of money, but they'd be no where near the tax next season. It'd only add about $3 Million to their current payroll, and Diaw isn't going to get a huge raise. With the cap increase, they would still have a ton of room. Plus, the books would be completely clean for 2015.

As far as Noguiera goes, I had assumed he'd go to Toronto. But it depends on negotiations. The Spurs eating all that salary may allow them to pick up an asset (Joseph to Toronto and Schröder to SA?) or at least keep their pick.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Cartier Martin would be fine for a 10 days contract, likely better than Jeffers.

Isn't he already on a 10 day contract (the second one) with the Bulls?

If not, he would be very useful. Decent swingman, good on offense, mediocre defender.

You could have stopped at Tiago Splitter. The Spurs didn't sign him to a new contract in the offseason so they could trade him 6 months later. The Spurs have never operated that way and they aren't going to start now.
